-No excessive guilt over silly things (i.e. having a functioning sex drive)
-Time saved from not having to go to church
-More difficult for politicians to manipulate you
-Potential for a more holistic understanding of morality and your own values

Really, these all apply to deists and agnostics as well.

@BlueVeins Well said. In particular the last one. Proven when I come across people who say they don't have any particular problem with homosexuals/homosexuality, but they [i]have to[/i] oppose it because of what their religion dictates. Not much of an understanding there.
